Diamonds in the Rain Lyrics by Silas

1998

2019

[Intro]
Yeah
Real rap 101
[Verse 1]
What the problem is?
They be dissin' but at least they gon' acknowledge this
Comin' up, I had nothin' and so I follow this
Dreams that these people said was nothin' hoe
Dreamed of living life like the Huxtables
Earlier this year, I was close to the cliff
Now I rap on beats homie, for my living and shit
They say that dreams come true when your life
Tell me what you living for, if not you gonna die
Movin' with these loser cats, hopin' I can save my ass
You can hear these drums knocking hard in a dark room
Know that I be animating rhymes like cartoons
Stickin' to my goals like that shit is harpoon
Heart move slowly like your bitch know me
'Member we ain't had no dollars and no ends homie
We was livin' in the basement tryna get it
Countin' change for food and it's fuckin' up my mood
All these lames in my mentions talkin' shit like bitch, we get it
You ain't got a life and wanna show up bitch, we get it
Get up off the Twitter shit, you on my dick like I just hit it
They talkin' 'bout handouts, I'm talkin' workin' it
What you know about long nights? You ain't workin' it
What you know about wintertime? Cold, workin' it
I'on got time to complain, bitch, I'm workin' it
They be sayin' "Silas, what you doin'?"
Bitch, I'm workin' it
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna do my best
Thinkin' back to days they sayin' "You'll be dead"
Now I'm makin' change, diamonds in the rain
Things were lookin' strange, things can never change, no
I'm just tryna do my best
Thinkin' back to days they sayin' "You'll be dead"
Now I'm makin' change, diamonds in the rain
Things were lookin' strange, things can never change, no, no
[Verse 2]
I'm Mos Def, just the greatest of my generation
This is years of studying, what if we in The Matrix?
Got these questions on my mind but the difference now
I been wonderin' just when you gonna figure out
That my dream is somethin' really just to marvel at
I been doin' this since Timberlands and starter caps
Baggy white tees, hope that shawty's like me
We was posted in the burbs smokin' Newport shorts
Motherfuckers bumpin' shit like it was verbal intercourse
And of course, I wrote that shit wit' no remorse
Pray that all my family straight on these rainy days
Seein' diamonds in the rain for 'em
Light these bars, I brain storm
Five years ago they never gave me no play
Now I'm posted in the crib while my homies roll a J
Dream of days like these, lacing up some Nikes
Tryna help my psyche, ain't nobody out there do it like me
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna do my best
Thinkin' back to days they sayin' "You'll be dead"
Now I'm makin' change, diamonds in the rain
Things were lookin' strange, things can never change, no, no
I'm just tryna do my best
Thinkin' back to days they sayin' "You'll be dead"
Now I'm makin' change, diamonds in the rain
Things were lookin' strange, things can never change, no, no
